This fully automatic, wrist style blood pressure monitor is both easy to use and ideally suited for daily measurements. The large display includes systolic, diastolic and pulse, all clearly shown at the completion of each reading.

In addition, you can store up to 30 measurements per Memory Zone using your 1140's built-in memory, ideal for users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The Lumiscope 1140 is compact and portable, making it ideal for home use and travel.

Blood pressure measurements determined with your Lumiscope 1140 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

How the 1140 Works

Your Lumiscope Wrist Monitor 1140 uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the blood pressure cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The measurement of your blood pressure is based on this baseline pressure. After the cuff inflates to block your blood in the artery, the deflation process starts. During the deflation of the wrist cuff, your 1140 is detecting the pressure oscillations generated by the beat-to-beat pulsatile. Any muscle movement during this period of time will cause measurement error. After detecting the amplitude and the slope of the pressure oscillations during the deflation process, your 1140 will determine the systolic and diastolic pressures for you, and your pulse rate is detected at the same time.

More Accurate by Using Step Valve Technology

The new Lumiscope 1140 Blood Pressure Monitor incorporates cutting-edge Step Valve Technology, resulting in greater measurement accuracy. Step valve technology uses an electronic valve system as opposed to the traditional mechanical valve system, allowing the monitor to analyze oscillations during measurement and adjust cuff pressure accordingly.

Adjustments in cuff pressure occur in steps and result in an audible ticking as the valve releases air from within the cuff.

Releasing pressure in steps allows the monitor to analyze oscillations within the cuff and evaluate them for accuracy. When the monitor does not detect oscillations for a particular step, it releases air pressure.

If the monitor detects oscillations, it will continue toevaluate at that particular step until it confirms theaccuracy of those oscillations.

The monitor's ability to detect and analyzeoscillations at each step and adjust cuff pressure accordingly results in the monitor's increased measurement accuracy.

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures var y between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
